It’s funny, as much as I’d like to support Palestine, doesn’t their culture suck?

Like, don’t they go out of their way to persecute queers?

I’d be happy with the destruction of copyright and patent laws.

Glad Nvidia has seen the writing on the walls and isn’t treating desktop Linux like a second-class citizen.

This is the cold, sad truth of Linux.

Unfortunately, when a company does not meet your standards, the solution is not to give them your money. Not to lower your standards.

Most big companies have feedback channels for customers on their websites.

What company are you talking about in particular?

someone who doesn’t want to confess can still plead not guilty.

Then they would be contesting the charges. A plea of ‘not guilty’ means you are contesting the charges.

has a completely different function than pleading no contest.

Yes, contesting the charges has a completely different function than not contesting the charges.

You seem to equate a plea of ‘not guilty’ with ‘not confessing.’ This isn’t true. A plea of not guilty means you are contesting the charges.

A plea of ‘no contest’ means you are not contesting the charges, nor are you admitting guilt (confessing.)

Sorry, I’ve explained things as best I can. If you don’t get it now, you never will and I think we should both move on.

belittle cruelty of terrorism

I’m curious, do you consider the IDF to be terrorists?

Who the fuck downplays a death with other deaths?

It’s just a bit weird to see this death paraded around the internet to condemn Hamas while Israel is killing thousands more.

Kind of makes it seem like “their lives worth less than this teenager’s.”

Where are the individual articles for each person Israel killed? You know what they say, one death is a tragedy, thousands are a statistic.

A lot of it is an instinctual response.

Hearing ‘jews this, jews that’ since birth causes people to want to ‘fit in’ and go along with what everyone else is doing even if they don’t understand it.

I was surprised by how much anti-Semitism existed when I went to high school, because I never experienced it before outside of South Park. For everyone else, it was just normal and understood (even if they didn’t support it.) It really cemented the idea in my mind that most people do things without thinking just to fit in with others.

What the fuck is with these comments.

What comments? Are you trying to manufacture outrage again?

I can say, with absolute certainty, that is not the norm.

For every sale they make, there are countless others they don’t. And they still have to put in the time.

I’ve gone through many realtors looking for a house, all of them gave me hours of their time and didn’t see a penny in return.

That said, I don’t think realtors are necessary and we should push the idea that people shouldn’t use them unless they think they need to.

Good point. I’m not a fan of BL, but I will choose it over almost any craft beer I’ve had.

That shit is just bonkers. No wonder it doesn’t sell volume.

Smart business move.

they pissed off everyone else.

Who exactly is everyone else?

Seems like bud light is the meathead beer for jocks at college parties or cookouts.

for being a soulless international conglomerate.

I think this rhetoric would hit harder if the alternatives were willing to sacrifice profit to give us a better deal.
